A double covering of a Galois extension \(K/k\) is an extension \(\tilde{K}/K\) of degree \(\leq 2\) such that \(\tilde{K}/k\) is Galois. The authors determine explicitly all double coverings of any quadratic extension, the Carlitz cyclotomic extensions of the rational function field over a finite field \({\mathbb F}_q\), and their maximal real subfields. They also construct explicitly a large kind of \((q-1)\)-th coverings of cyclotomic function fields.
